It's Times Like These That You Don't Want to Be Positive (for COVID-19) · 3:46pm Nov 15th, 2020
(IRL stuff, you know the drill)
Positivity.
A word which many would consider it... Well, positively.
Not in 2020.
It's during times like this when you really wish you're not positive. Especially if it's about a certain test of a certain novel disease that assaulted a certain world...
Be negative, it's the new positive.
...
Jokes aside, it felt surreal to learn that I was infected with the novel coronavirus. Even more so when my symptoms improved. My fever is history, and the coughing became a meager inconvenience. The only thing noticeable is the overall feeling of tiredness and drowsiness.
That's it. But... Not really.
I should consider myself lucky enough that I developed a mild form (expectable, considering I'm only 18 years old). I'm no doctor, but, from what I heard, when it comes to this insidious disease, it's really a gamble you take with your immune system. You never know if COVID-19 triggers that dreadful autoimmune response (the body fights... You... your healthy cells).
The worst thing about learning you have COVID-19, apart from the obvious, is realising you most definitely infected the ones you've been close enough to.
